Ep. 38 with Lisa Bobyak | Owner and Founder, Living Fully Balanced

Embracing Identity & Preventing Burnout with Lisa Bobyak (BONUS OFFERING - VIRTUAL WORKSHOP 3/20 - see details below)

In this episode, Lisa Bobyak, a coach with 13 years of experience, shares her journey through motherhood, identity shifts, and burnout recovery. She uses the metaphor of flamingos—where white ones are mothers who give everything to their young—to highlight how many women pour themselves into others while neglecting their own well-being.

Key Themes:

•Identity Shifts & Motherhood: Lisa struggled with transitioning from a working mom to a stay-at-home mom, feeling societal pressure that made the shift difficult. She later embraced it but realized she initially resisted the change.
•Burnout & Boundaries: Research on burnout, which has been studied since the 1960s, typically focuses on workplaces, but Lisa argues it affects stay-at-home moms, retirees, and caregivers as well. Setting boundaries is essential to preventing it.
•Processing Emotions & Healing: By sitting with uncomfortable emotions for as little as 90 seconds, Lisa found relief from physical and emotional tension. Recognizing and honoring one’s emotions can significantly impact overall well-being.
•Intentional Living & Entrepreneurship: Lisa’s coaching helps clients design lives they don’t need a vacation from. She emphasizes slowing down, simplifying commitments, and embracing trade-offs rather than trying to do it all.

Peaks & Valleys:

•  Peaks: The autonomy and freedom of entrepreneurship, the power of intentionality, and the realization that slowing down creates space for clarity.
•  Valleys: The dangers of overcommitment, self-neglect, and mistaking productivity for fulfillment.

Advice to other women exploring entrepreneurship: Lisa urges women to “act as if” for 24–48 hours—trying on a new way of being to see what aligns with their needs. She encourages self-awareness, grace, and intentional decision-making.
